Taking Back Sunday – Understanding In A Car Crash lyrics

splintered piece of glass falls in the seat and gets caught
these broken windows, open locks, reminders of the youth we lost
in trying so hard to look away from you
we followed white lines to the sunset
i crash my car everyday the same way

time to let this pass
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
time runs through our veins
(it starts and stops and starts and stops again)
we don't stand a chance in this threadbare time
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
staring at he setting sun
no reason to come back again
the twilight world in blue and white
the needle and the damage done
i don't want to feel this way forever
a dead letter makred return to sender

the broken watch you gave me turns into a compass
its two hands still point to the same time
12:03 our last goodbye
so push the seats back a little further
i can see the headlights coming
so push the seats back a little further
roll the widows down and take a breath
i can see the headlights coming
they paint the world in red and broken glass

time to let this pass
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
time runs through our veins
(it starts and stops and starts and stops again)
we don't stand a chance in this threadbare time
(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
time to let this pass

staring at he setting sun
no reason to come back again
the twilight world in blue and white
the needle and the damage done
i don't want to feel this way forever
a dead letter makred return to sender

the spinning hubcaps set the tempo
for the music of a broken window
when the cameras on and the cameras click
we open up the lens to broken glass and it's over in a flash
i'll never understand
understanding in a car crash
